Weekend Journal

In the weekend i had fun. On Saturday after camp i had to wake up at 8 in the morning the day after camp to go to Christchurch. the reason i had to go because we were dropping one of my brothers friends and it was my great Nana's 89th birthday. we went out for lunch. afterwards me Bridget and mum went to the mall. when i was walking through the mall i caught up with one of my new mates from the st beads sleepover that i did. On Sunday i went out hare shooting with my dad at 10. i got 4 hares with 5 bullets within the first hour but then for a little while there was nothing around. then when we went down the back to look for a deer. My dad thought he saw one but it was just a possum. Then my dad shot it. then we went around to look for some pigs and on the way there there were plenty of hares but my dad didn't want me to shoot them just in case i scared the pigs away. there were no pigs and on the way back there was no hares in sight. On Monday i didn't do much as i used it as a rest day. that was may weekend.

My weekend hunting story

On Friday Night since that my brother was home and me and him have a running competition on hare shooting dad took us out for a look. Dad also brought his gun just in case we saw a deer. So when we were going past the quarry Shaun shot a hare. then when we drove for a bit longer once we came around the corner looking into a big paddock Dad and i both saw the deer's eyes with the ute headlights but shaun did not. We were about 300 yards away and too far for dad to get a good shot on it. to get closer we could do it but there was a massive wet hole in the way. When dad started to drive foward he remembered to put the ute in 4WD. However the 4 wheel drive didn't go in quick enough and we got stuck in the wet hole. Mean while the deer just looked at us because it had never seen a spotlight before. we finally got out of the wet hole and got about 200 yards away. then we jumped out of the ute and dad shot the deer right in the heart. when we were gutting it our spotlight went flat. after we finished gutting it and got home it was 00:30 and we left at 22:00.

Why all 1 XV rugby players should be surprise drug tested

In class for the last few weeks of the term we have been writing a variety of speeches and we had to choose one to share in front of the class. I choose to share my speech about why first fifteen rugby players should be surprise drug tested. Some of the ups and downs of my speech journey were that my time management was a bit off but a positive was sharing i felt really confident. i had a lot of prior knowledge on the topic and learnt a lot more along the way. I think i informed my audience a lotmre about the topic

Statistical investigation

In class we have been doing statistical investigations on a topic of our choice. I chose to make a line graph over the course of 20 years about the number of home runs hit by major league baseball teams per season. I chose the New York Yankees, The Chicago white Sox and the Baltimore oriels. Here are some facts from my investigation.

Interestingly the Yankees and the White Sox hit the same number of Home Runs during the 2004 season
The Yankees have the highest home run average out of the 3 teams that were compared
The Orioles have had a massive fall since 1996 but have gone back to their winning ways in 2016

In the 9 out of 20 seasons that are on this chart the White Sox hit over 200 Home Runs.
